Brig's Mission: January 8, 2018

It's a New Year!

Here is Alex, his family are recent converts, but they are kind of less active and he texted Juan that morning and got picked up to come to church, He's a baller!

MOMMA!!!

So this year has been pretty good so far haha. Yes we had to go over to Betty's last night to say good bye! Always sad with them, she and Kona cried again!! haha. Not me though, I know we will come back to see them, such a great family, keep them in your prayers becasue she is going through some tough times with her sister and nephew and daughters. I'm super happy I was sent back to San Francisco even if t was for just a short 3 months. So I am going to Oakland, and I will be a zone leader with Elder Jensen, and we will also be in a trio with Elder Harrison, he isn't a ZL though, he's just in a trio with us haha, but he's a cool guy, and came in the mission last year when I was here! So it should be awesome! Oh and Elder Jensen played lacrosse and he has like 5 lacrosse sticks so im super pumped to get passing again with him! Oh and we will be leaving tomorrow on Tuesday. It's gonna be more responsability but it should be a good time, and I'll get to meet way more missionarys being on that side of the bay so that will be fun too! They play hecka sports over there and go running and all that, so I will hopefully be getting back into shape and keeping up with that New Years resolution haha. I've been staying pretty healthy though, havent been sick at all except that one time I threw up in the morning a coulple months back so I'm feeling pretty good! Thats good about the condo though!! Super excited to go back there some day, what are we going to do with the small amount of time I'll have back home before I go to school?? Too many things I want to do haha! So when we go to San Diego now, the Eatons will have there own place somewhere else? Dibs on downstairs!

The news of President Monson was sad and happy at the same time for many of us I'm sure, I was definitely more happy than sad though, he was probably in pain emotionally and physically all the time, and now he is in Paradise so I am super happy for him, nearly his whole life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and other people and now he gets to rest. I appreciate his work and the work of all the Prophets who are taking on the immense responsibility of leading the church. Haven't heard anything about watching the funeral though so I'm not sure. Well I'll send pics in a second, I took a lot this week because I'm leaving the ward haha. Love you!!!
